Suddenly Seized With insanity.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Jan. 6.--Rey. Cyrus Ash
ley has been the pastor Of the Baptist Church
at Jonlansville, a small town in Clark
County, Ind, back Of Jeffer sonville, and his
eloquence and fervor have made him q
favorite with his congregation. For some
time past he has been conducting aprotracted
meeting at his church, and has been very
successful, the attendance being large and
the converts numerous. Nor day evening the
regular services were 10 De held at the
church. Mr.. Ashley took bis accustomed
seat n the pulpit. There were several songs
and the usual prayers. Mc. Ashley began
his sermon in his usual manner. AS he pro-
ceeded he began to grow louder, aud
his gestures became very violent. The
members of the congregation were
surprised, but still more so when their mi
lister began to express opinions decidedly at
variance with the christian doctrine. He
sai6 he believed there was uo hereafter. He
had thought over the matter and he felt
thoroughly convinced of it. He became so
wild that it was soon apparent to all present
that the man was insane. Mr.. Ashley sud.
denly broke off from the thread of his dis
course, and, leaplDg out OF the pulpit, as
saulted one of the deacons. who attempted
to pacify him. He would have done the
man harm had not others lnterfered and
seized him. His action caused great con.
fusion in the congregation, and the women
rushed for the door, some of them falling
over each other in their haste. Mr.. Ashley
was taken 10 his resi- 1ence, near by, and DR..
Hammond was called in. lie said the man
had gone insane from religious excitement.

A Hellish Crime.

TIPToN, Jan. Ga hellish crime was co n
mitted near Brownsville, in Prairie Town
ship, by some drunken hoodlums g few
nights ago. Patrick Welsh and, his wife, a
very old couple, probably three-score years
and ten, have for a few years resided by
themselves near Brownsville, this coun-
ty. They are, of course. old and feeble,
and very needy. AT one time they were in
mates Of the county poor-boUse, but recently
located at the place above mentioned. Mr..
Welsh is badly y-crippled old man, and his
good old wife has been for several years af-
flcted with mental alteration. The hood
lums who perpetTated the dastardly crime
knew the surroundings thoroughly, aud.
while in q state of intoxication, proceeded
to the home of the in6rr couple and COM
mitted the blacklist act IL the criminal cal
endar. The story goes that the old gentle
man was caught and held by brute force
while the other ghouls dealt foully
with the old lady. It is said that
each one of the villains succeeded in
outTsging her person, after which they
mounted their horses and mules and rode
away. The animals were tracked to house
in the neighborhood, and warrants have
been sworn out for the arrest of two of the
Leap boys, who, it is reported reside in
Switzerland County, and for Bud Summers.
a resident of Prairie Township. Marshal
Racobs went to Prairie Township to arrest
the accused parties, but lol they had skedad-
died to parts unknown, and he came ba X

a Runaway Chicago Girl Captured.

LAFAYETTE, Jan. 9-Detective r w. Little
of the Pinkerton agency, arrived here re-
Gently in search of a young girl named
Mamie Jones, who had left her home in Chi
cagO for no apparent reason, and, as it was
supposed, made her way to Lafayette. Mr..
Little, in company with Constable Hill, of
this city, after long search found the girl at
Moore's Hall, in Chauncey, attending a
dance and enjoying herself. The detective
approached her as she was in conversation
with several young men, and after
putting a few questions to her-which she
pertly a1swered-learned that she had
left home because she had become dissatis-
fed. She had come to Lafayette and made
her home with Mrs. Mcmillan, in Chaun-
cey, whose acquaintance she had formed in
Brookston some time ago. She further told
the officer that she was sorry she ever left
home and desired to return. although she
preferred to stay until the dance was over.
The detective complied with her demands,
and about o'clock Miss Jones was ready
to be escorted back to Chicago Mr. Little
brought her to the city and afterward took
the train for Chicago, the detective happy
over his capture and the girl glad TO return
to the parental roof.

Adventure of n Princess.

MADRID Jan. 10.-For several hours on
Saturday the city was excited over sensa-
tional reports that the Infanta Isabella, sis
ter of the late King Alfonso, had been KID
naped or killed. The Infanta had gone out
in carriage to follow the royal huntsmen in
the parade. She occupied her carriage alone,
and was escorted by three aides. In a re-
mote part of the great park the carriage
broke down, throwing the Infanta into a
ditch. 1t was deemed prudent for her to re-
main at the scene of the accident until as
sistance could be procured, and for this
lackey was dispatched. Much time was lost
in all this. In the meantime the huntsmen
had gone on great distance before they
missed their royal mistress, and when they
discovered she was no longer with them they
became greatly frightened, started general
alarm and began a search. The prolonged
absence of the Infauta from the castle
caused uneasiness there, and finally police
and troops were sent out in search of her.
They heard the reports which had been scat
tered by the frightened huntsmen and the
whole country was subjected to a securing
alarming the people and producing the most
sensational stories. The lackey sent for as
slstance was slow, and it was 10 O'Clock at
night before the royal carriage was found
and the truth heralded about town. What
added to the general CONSERVATION during
the search for the Infanta was the recollec-
tion of the recent conspiracy attributed to
stock gamblers for stealing the royal babe
and leaving the throne without an heir.
